MORE THAN A SUSPICION. ;"

COLUMBIA, Mo, Dec. IA.
EDITOR ST. LOUIS REPUBLIcAN:-It
seems to me that neither Mr.. Carlisle
at Chicago nor the president in his
message fully explains the workings of
the tariff. They are close around, but
they do not get there with both feet.
understand that those who buy i'm.
ported goods pay tribute to the treas
ury; those who buy the protected
domestic goods pay tribute TO the mans
ufacturer, and if the domestic goods
are just equal in amount and quality to
the imported goods the protection 10
the manufacturer is Just equal to the
revenue which the treasury receives.
That is to say, if the tariff produces
5000, 100000 revenue it also produces
zoo, O,OOO, ,0c0 protection to the manufsc-
turer. Now, if the manufacturer
makes aud sells six times as many
goods, land of like quality as the country
imports and pay tariff 1.-The manufac-
turer in such case gets six times as
much protection as the government
gets revenue. If the government gets
$500, ,0O0, 900 revenue, the manufacturer
gets six times as much, viz, $1,000, 0,OO0,-
900 protection in the way of increased
price tor his goods; and if you increase
to tariff figures which amount to pro-
hibition he gets all and the govern
ment none, thus defeating the constitu-
ton at vital point. This, under
stand, is the case with many articles on
the tariff list-all protection and no
| revenue of any consequence.
Of course this solution considers only
the cost Ito consumers) in money paid
| over the counter to tine manufacturer.
1t does not consider consequences,
good or bad, cost of production, profit
| of importer on his investment, nor cost
of collecting the revenue. 1t consid-
ers only the effect on prices of stable
tariff where prospect of q change does
not operate. OF course, if there is q
certain prospect OF reduction in the
tariff rate both parties will unload at
the best figures they can get, and hold
| up Oh production or importation till
the change comes.
This reasoning is based on the follow
ing proposition, which to me is self
evident, viz, that the tariff, if it be
stable, fixes the price of both sets of
goods of like quality. For it is evi-
dent the people will buy where they
can buy cheapest, provided the protect
ed and imported goods are of like
quality, and that II the manufacturer
undersells the importer, the importer
cannot afford to import, and revenue
will be defeated.
l understand that the value of pro-
tected goods, in the near past, per
year, is between six and seven tunes
the value of the imported ones. and
that the revenue from the tariff imports
is near 5000, 900, 900, so that the figures
l have assumed near about cover the
present situation. Hence, if the fore
going principles are correct, for every
dollar that goes into the treasury
through protective tariff Sc goes TO
the manufacturer. Those who buy the
imported goods pay the revenue,
5000, ,000, 900, and those who buy the
protected goods pay the protected
manufacturers 81 200 100000.

The First Sign

OF failing health, whether in the form Of
Night Sweats and Nervousness, or in a
sense of General Weariness and Loss of
Appetite, should suggest the use of Ayers
,Sar>aparila. This preparation is most
effective for giving tone and strength
TO the enfeebed system, promoting the
digestion and assimilation of food, restor-
ing the nervous forces to their normal
condition. and for purifying, enriching,
and yitaiiZing the blood.

The leafy showers gently fall.
And taking the wings Of the passing breeze
Softly they cover the earth like pail.

OF blighted hopes and dreams untold,
Under The leaves!
Hinder the leaves of the fying years.
Oh, strive. thou weary soul. to lay

nerved me TO such an extent that the
least excitement would make me shake
like the ague. Last May was induced To
try Hop Bittcrs. | used one bottle, hut
did not see any change; another did 81
change my nerves that they are now ~
steady rs lhey ever were. Ii used Ia take
both hands TO write but now my good
right hand writes this. Now if you con-
time to manufacture rs honest and good
an article rs you do, you will accumulate
an honest fortune, and confer the greatest
blessing on your fellow-mcn that was ever
conferred on mankind. TIM BIRCH.
